Logan Paul makes major claim against WWE on livestream
Logan Paul backed off from a challenge that he started
Logan Paul just claimed that the WWE is banning him from boxing NFL players.
The 30-year-old YouTuber turned professional wrestler had laid out 1 million dollars insisting no football player could beat him in a fight, with the likes of Le'Veon Bell and Breiden Fehoko ready to step up.
But now he is taking a step back and blaming his bosses in the sports entertainment company.
Logan wrote on X: "Welp. The bosses called. Turns out I'm too valuable of a WWE Superstar to be fighting bums.”
"I want to take this opportunity to congratulate [LeVeon Bell] and [Breiden Fehoko] for their 15 minutes of relevancy. Now back to being broke and retired. I'm going back to RAW every Monday on Netflix,” he added.
Logan also appeared to receive a phone call from someone called Chris at WWE during a live stream, who told him the company didn't want to let him get back in a boxing ring right now.
He begged them to reconsider, insisting he would give WWE some of his expected 2-million-dollar winnings, but the man responded that the company was "good" for the money.
At the end of the call, he said: "My loyalty's with the WWE. I'm a good independent contractor, brother, whatever you guys need.
"And if you need me to shut it down, I'll do it."
Le'Veon responded to the video claiming Logan "is actually scared", adding: "This is crazy, he actually faked a phone call" with some crying laughing emojis, describing it as the "biggest duck we have ever seen before our eyes".
He later shared an edited picture of the WWE star with a clown nose and a sign reading: "I literally staged this phone call. That way when I decline I don't look like a little b**** because I'm scared to fight."
For the unversed, Logan Paul is a major player on WWE's weekly Monday Night Raw show on Netflix, and is expected to factor heavily into this year's WrestleMania 42 plans in Las Vegas next month.
